In the wake of the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden have issued official statements, acknowledging his long history of violence and terror in the Middle East, and reaffirming their unwavering support for Israel.
Vice President Harris emphasized Nasrallah’s role in destabilizing the region and his responsibility for countless deaths. “Hassan Nasrallah was a terrorist with American blood on his hands,” she said. She pointed to his leadership of Hezbollah as a catalyst for decades of conflict, leading to the loss of innocent lives in Lebanon, Israel, Syria, and across the globe. Harris also underscored her commitment to Israel’s security, stating, “I will always support Israel’s right to defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.”
President Biden echoed similar sentiments in his statement, noting that Nasrallah and Hezbollah were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans over the past four decades. “His death from an Israeli airstrike is a measure of justice for his many victims,” Biden said. He highlighted the broader context of Nasrallah’s death, pointing to the escalation of conflict after Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, and Nasrallah’s decision to join forces with Hamas in what he called the “northern front” against Israel.
Both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to de-escalating the conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon through diplomatic channels. President Biden emphasized that the U.S. fully supports Israel’s right to defend itself against terrorist groups supported by Iran, and Vice President Harris stated that diplomacy remains the best path forward to protect civilians and ensure long-term stability in the region.
Meanwhile, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump – who emphasizes his strong support for Israel – has not yet made any public comment or statement regarding Nasrallah’s overdue death.

Have the general news outlets reported it? I haven’t seen it on Fox or ABC.
Ridiculous question. Trump’s not in need of any such statement. He’s proven time and again a steadfast supporter of Israel. More so than any other president in US history. Bar none.
The 2 fraudsters you quote having made statements are the ones who need to clean up their act vis a vis Israel and Jews.
Trump, who can’t ever keep his fat mouth shut for a SECOND on social media – NOT FOR A SECOND – has gone radio silence on this.
Very strange.
I can’t wait to read every Trump supporter making excuses for Trump on here. Nothing like Yidden who consider this guy Moshiach. It’s incredible to watch everyone always answer and make excuses for him.
PS: I voted Trump twice, and will vote for him a third time.
why is he mechuya to say anything. he never comments on most things. just important things like saying how he hates taylor swift.
He says it in every speach he gives at a campaign, that Israel should get the job done..
All Kamala and Biden have been saying was we need a cease fire..
Take care YWN I’ll be deleting this app from my phone now!!!
Maybe put out news that your crowd wants to hear in the future!
@B_rains – Go ahead delete the app. Is this North Korea?
Fact is, this is the presidential candidate. He hasn’t said a WORD about Israelis greatest military and intelligence achievement in the past 50 years.
That is a serious question that a reputable news website like YWN can ask.
You don’t like that? Go ahead. Stick your head in the sand and get lost. What a pathetically unintelligent person you must be!
How small minded and warped have Jews become, that you can no longer question ANYTHING Trump says or does – or in this case, doesn’t do?
I’m a die hard Trump supporter. I think it is very strange that Trump didn’t say anything. Valid point. Not sure why the hate against YWN here.
Sadly, YWN’s one-sided reporting may cost us votes in this crucial election, where every voice matters. After reading their second biased article against Trump, I’m switching to Frum news outlets who do have sechel yashar.
Dumb af article.
Biden said today Israel must make a ceasefire.
Enough said
What’s the kasha? He was by his eidim for Shabbos and didn’t hear about it until late Motzei Shabbos.
Biden and Harris have not demonstrated “unwavering support” for Israel — they have acted to restrict Israel by restricting some arms sales and slow-rolling others. They also pressured Israel to not go into Rafiah, not increase defensive attacks into Lebanon, etc. As a result, Israel delayed acting in Gaza, which contributed to more hostage deaths than would have been the case if Israel went full bore into Gaza at the beginning (as Israel originally wanted to do).
In short, a Harris presidency would be a real danger to Israel. Her political base includes a heavy dose of anti-Semitic Moslems. Her advisors are largely anti-Semites.
By contrast, Trump has a proven record of actions that support Israel — he is a philo-Semite.
You never know how a meshugena reacts. He hopes to get some more Arab votes by keeping quiet. I will vote for him because he’s still much better than Harris.
Trump sometimes checks out. It’s true. But every single Jew must vote for him. He loves Israel, Harris is a fool a bigot and a traitor she hates Israel with every fiber of her rotten gut. She hates America even more.
If a major event happened with your spouse or sibling would you have to officially let the world know you support them?
Of course not!!! It’s obvious!
Same here. Trump is such an Ohev Yisroel, the most Pro-Israel leader in world history.
the best friend & biggest supporter of Jews (unless he loses the election).
He lives & breaths the Jewish leadership qualities of modesty, Menschlichkeit & Erhlichkeit.
A congregant asked our Ruv (& noted Posek) if it would be allowed during Shofar to focus on the crowning of Trump as ruler of the world & precursor to Moshiach.
My Ruv’s response, “Eh, couldn’t hurt.”
Trump already made his statement a few months back when he said “You know, Hezbollah is very smart, They’re all very smart.” Now he is probably too busy campaigning with Mark Robinson in North Carolina and Vance is too busy running around with Tucker Carlson to say anything further.
I’m not sure if the affirmation that they support Israel’s “right to defend itself” is asinine or evil. And if they don’t support it, are they suggesting Israel just allows itself to be attacked and not respond and retaliate?! Netanyahu stated it very clearly, הבא להרגך, השכם להרגו. And it’s that right to be on the offensive that America has to recognize and support. And sell them the arms needed and leave the strategic decisions to be made by the Israeli military that has boots on the ground. Not meddling and hamstringing and censoring what they in their narrow mindedness don’t approve of.
Well he doesn’t need to make a comment everyone knows that he supports Israel. He made the Abraham Accords approved the Golan Heights. I mean come on, just get real about this, Kamala Harris’s niece is fundraising for Palestine children relief a.k.a Hamas. Staff should immediately pull this piece of left wing propaganda down. Look at what was reported on Breitbart: “Vice President Kamala Harris has close ties to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a radical organization whose executive director celebrated the October 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel.”
What an idiotic question; it insinuates Trump doesnt approve of what Israel did.
YWN has shown it self again to be suffering from a severe case of TDS!
all of America and her peoples are nuts…..shame on you, yidden, shame period on your words ….Trump doesn’t keep shabbos and that is a hoot of lies……Ivanka doesn’t keep shabbos either, nor does her dress code fit the heart and soul of a jew…she is a goy al the way through and through and so are most converts as well..shame…..when one becomes one of us, it is all the way….no more families to talk of or share……shameful you are all going shopping to save your selves….I loathe all of you period
Obama can’t be reached for comment as he’s in seclusion in grief
This ywn is so misleading! This operation needs a statement? Trump would have done it himself if he was in office ! Shame on you ! Costing trump votes for a couple of dollars!
Ok, here’s a moshel for the slow kids in the back of the room, you remember when you went to your best friend’s vort and the guys who aren’t so close to the chosson have to be extra geshmak just to try to prove to the whole world that they belong there, and with a little smile or wink to your best friend the chosson, all is right in the world, well guys, figure out the nimshol (Trump doesn’t have to prove a thing to the world about his support for Israel)
KNOW WHAT’S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING?
IF TRUMP WOULD HAVE ISSUED A STATEMENT AND BIDEN AND KAMALS DIDN’T, YOU WOULD ALL BE CURSING THEM OUT AND DEMANDING THAT THEY DO SO NOW!
WHAT A BUNCH OF TWO-FACED FAKERS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU ARE.
